Double Helix + Pure Mini

K&K Sound is proud to announce the launch of its first-ever magnetic soundhole pickup, the Double Helix. The Double Helix is a hum-cancelling, dual-coil pickup for steel-string acoustic guitars.

The Double Helix has two coils, so it is hum-cancelling. However, the Double Helix is unique because the second coil isn't just there to remove the noise, it actually allows you to dial in different coil combinations, resulting in different tone and phase settings. It's the first soundhole pickup that has both a built-in tone switch and a phase switch.

The phase switch allows you to adjust the phase of the pickup, so the Double Helix will can be used with a second pickup. The phase switch allows you to ensure that both pickups in your guitar resonate in the same phase. Out of phase pickups provide a thinner, weaker sound.

The tone switch allows the player to choose from two settings: GLOSS, a fine and bright tone that sounds very acoustic, and STEAM, a more substantial and louder tone generally associated with soundhole pickups. In the GLOSS setting, the Double Helix + Pure Mini provides a "compression-like" tone that rivals studio recordings. The STEAM setting provides a much more substantial tone, louder, bigger and with superb feedback rejection. It is great if you need to bring the guitar up front in a mix. Both tone settings are hum cancelling.

This listing is for a Double Helix and Pure Mini combination system, to really get the best of both worlds. This combination system provides both a Double Helix and K&K's award-winning Pure Mini triple-transducer bridgeplate system. Additionally, there is a K&K Dual Channel ST 2-channel external preamp to control the balance, EQ, and volume.
